Titled;
Power to Empower;
Respect and empower elders.
Elders help the young. We have wisdom that can help the youths.
We have purpose.
Provide resources if they have not already done so.
Support them with what they have already put into place; resources.
" Strong women help each other up*"
I just don't have the time or the brain space to keep on trying to understand why some people do... Say... Or think that they are being helpful... When you look at them in the face and know they don't have your best interests at heart or are even hearing you
I can only conclude they have their own interests, agendas, in mind.
One cannot meet both interest and solutions together if there is only a sense of one power without empowerment of an other .
Where or when does meeting each other's purpose, goals
That being the same, purpose come into fruition. How?
When there's power without empowerment.
I've run out of time and space trying to décifer another's true intentions.
Especially those that are in a position to make you or break you.
They can be supportive of your plan of action .
Which you have already verbalized to one or any of them.
Or they can throw a monkey wrench in your plans creating total chaos in your life and home.
Is this purposeful? Is this useful?
Do they think punishment or threat there of is the answer?
How about hearing me and allowing me to follow my plan of action already in place?
Does one know the difference on how to allow or help a person follow their plan of action already begun?
So your put in a position of someone else's time frame and orders that you know you cannot meet.
Chaos results.
Then you're put into shame. And become less than what your capable of.
If someone truly cares about you or others to include helpfulness is more rewarding than harmful.
they give you support and allow you to carry on in a healthy good way. Don't they?
If someone keeps you in a bad or creates a persona that is not you.
Or perceived.
How and why?
They haven't even asked you if you have a
plan with something they see differently.
Then we as humans come to a braking point.
And the one or those who can make you or break you cannot get mad at you for bringing you to the point of oppression and opposition.
Oh sure you try to do it their way. You try to comply with their way.
CHAOS ENSUES.
As basic earthly human beings..
We have our own experience in life and know what works for us as it once did.
So why don't people understand this?
Why do they insist on their way or the highway?
And who should pay the price for this?
How does one try to inform another when no one is asking questions but choose to assume and create the worst scenario in you?
Taking pictures of your work in progress and presenting it in a bad way.
This is so very wrong.
Why not ask the question...
" Okay can you tell me what's going on here and what plans have you made if any? "
These people that don't ask... Take your voice away and
Change your plans to correct a situation.
This is or can be disastrous.
What direction has this world taken, that is people?
Having power over someone is to empower them, not impose more hardship.
Life is not easy, elders have their own experiences to make life a better place for themselves and others.
Elders should not be placed in a position which creates distress, mental health problems, hurt themselves physically for what they are no longer capable of enduring as they once were when they were young.
Actually no one should be placed in this position so long as they are truly taking or have begun taking and set into motion resources that are available.
A person is going to change after being mistreated for a period of time.
If consistency does not exist.... That is to say switching from kindness to devalue... Verses empowerment, the final result in reality cannot be resolved to the best of ones ability.
Resources are out there, let them do thier job.
There I have said it !
So where do we go from here?

We can get things done more efficiently, with kindness, constructive criticism is most helpful verses criticism without
True knowledge.
Amen
Dearest friends & Family,
Elders have traveled a long journey.
To be fair, some have wisdom and growth, some haven't been so lucky.
We all grow older, some get confused, some misunderstood, some on the right path. Never verbalized, or have the opportunity to verbally express their intentions. Or themselves.
Some of the above mentioned get put to shame by their peers, some get anger, developing
Friction between each other, or towards undeserving of such maladaptive responses.
This world is not so easy to cope with as when once we were younger.
Business is business,
People are not.
Am I making sense?
My heart is heavy...for mistreatment of elders.
